This was a pretty good trail however I would say part of the trail was really muddy and not suitable for jogging strollers if you have kids(Even if it wasn't muddy). We haven't done the whole loop but the part that we did was decent. If you are looking for a truly easy trail, don't park at the first parking lot, park by the pavilion and go towards the dam on the blue trail. .

It’s really pretty, and a lot of people come here to picnic and fish. It’s also good for kayaking, and it’s big enough that it’s never crowded. Lots of shaded areas, and there’s also a playground right next to it.
